Those were his words. I've never heard of it either.

Could need to readjust your flim flam bars. Might as well change your blinker fluid while in there

Could be a burnt plug

when you press on the gas hard does it bog down? does it shift through all the gears?

I didn't even think of that. It could very well be.

I press on the gas adn it accelerated very slowly. It feels like it bogs a little I guess.

yes. After driving it around for 10 minutes, it accelerates and drives normally. It's just those first 10 minutes it just has no power to accelerate, even when I press the pedal hard. it just refuses to ramp up the rpms.

Sounds like fuel pump or fuel filter
How to tell the difference between the two?
wouldn't the pump just go out and cause a no-start?

Probably the beer bottle lodged underneath the accelerator peddle.
A lot of people say fuel filter, but I've never run into a fuel filter related problem. If it was me I'd first give it a full tuneup, since it's probably past due. Plugs, air filter, fuel filter etc. Also take off the intake and clean out the throttle body. After that's all done I'd see if I still had a problem.

When's the last time you had your transmission fluid replaced?

A few months back.

yeah. I just hate to spend all that money and it not do shite to fix my problem.

There is no telling. Could be anything. Could be bad plug wires, fuel pump, etc. Just too much to give an answer.

Could be accelerator position sensor, but that would most certainly illuminate your Check Engine light.

The first thing to do that is cheap and easy would be to change the fuel filter. Just get it lined up in the right direction (look for the arrow on the housing).
Fuel filter problems show up as difficulty in acceleration and climbing hills. But these issues are not evident until the engine warms up first because fuel seeps past the stuffed-up filter overnight and fills the lines to the injectors.

If the pump is bad then you will have to change both anyway. If it were a plug as others have suggested you would definitely get a check engine light code. In this case I would get a new fuel pump and filter from autozone or advance and replace them and see if that works. If not, just bring the part back and tell them you didn't need it afterall.

Not necessarily. I had similar issues years ago with a Mitsubishi galant that I drove through college and it did exactly what you described (except it didnt' get better after it warmed up) It was just very sluggish and wouldn't get over about 3k RPM and it just sounded rough. Luckily it was the fuel pump and in that model you could just lift up the back seat to access the fuel pump that mounted to the top of the gas tank without having to drop the tank.
I would google "changing fuel pump for 'xx (year) Honda civic" and see what you get. If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself then just bring it to a shop.
